Basically in « no such things as free gifts » by Linsey McGoey the author explains with backed up sources that Bill Gates uses his foundation to have some power over poor countries, a sit at ONU and pretends to do what he doesn’t.

You had interviews of African people saying that they had a lot of vaccines for diseases that were never heard of in their villages for example.

Bill Gate also has the highest amount of land in the us, no shit he’s for vegetal food.

Btw I’m not trying to convince you I’m just saying look it up

If he has that much land, his best chances of making profit of it is producing soya for animal food. That logic doesn't check out.

You need way less land for vegetarian food. I'm pretty sure that meat consumption would be more profitable for a land owner than vegetarians would be. There'd be a hell lot of overproduction if you'd produce as much on field nowaday and take away the animal's food consumption. About 77% of Soy production world wide goes into livestock food source. So soy business is pretty lucrative. Especially if there are a lot of people eating meat.

(I'm not stating eating meat is better than plant-based, I'm just stating that I doubt that Bill Gates profits of vegetarians more than of meat-eaters)
